The Kansas Jayhawks have already knocked off two high-profile programs this season and are a slight underdog on our college basketball lines to make it three when they meet the Duke Blue Devils in Las Vegas on Tuesday.
No. 1 Kansas has a 92-89 victory over North Carolina and a 77-69 triumph on its resume so far and looks to justify the lofty ranking in the Vegas Showdown. The Jayhawks have gotten off to a strong start with balanced scoring as only two players average in double figures.
Duke has already played a big neutral-site contest against Kentucky, suffering its only loss in five outings (77-72). The 10th-ranked Blue Devils earned their most impressive win last time out on the road by handling Arizona 69-55.
Kansas senior center Hunter Dickinson and freshman swingman Cooper Flagg of Duke will be the headliners on Tuesday. However, the difference might be the depth and balance of the Jayhawks when you make your online bets.

Top 3 Duke vs Kansas Predictions 11/26
1. Bet Kansas ML (+142)
Kansas coach Bill Self has been able to divide the playing time pretty evenly so far with an eight-man rotation, averaging between 12 and 28 minutes.
Dickinson leads the way with 17.8 points and 10.4 rebounds per contest. The 7-2 standout has three double-doubles while averaging 24 points in the wins over Michigan State and North Carolina.
The rest of the lineup has been quite balanced. Zeke Mayo, a transfer from South Dakota State, scored 21 versus North Carolina and averages 12.6 points. Wisconsin transfer A.J. Storr (9.4) is next and Jayhawk veteran Dajuan Harris Jr. (9.2) was at his best in the two big games.

Kansas (+1200 in our odds to win the NCAA title) is shooting 51.6 percent from the field and allowing 39.2 points per contest. Defense will be key against Flagg, and the Jayhawks must keep the Blue Devils off the boards. We think they can.
Bet This Pick: Kansas ML (+142)
2. Why Bet Against Duke In Sin City? Go With Kansas +3
The Blue Devils played their best game of the season last Friday in Tucson.
Duke outrebounded the 23rd-ranked Wildcats 43-30 and received 24 points, six rebounds and three assists from Flagg. That effort came after his worst performance when he had just eight points versus Wofford.

The Blue Devils are pretty deep as well, getting at least 9.2 points per game from five players. Kon Knueppel (14.4 points) and Tyrese Proctor (11.8) will be key if Duke is to take care of the Jayhawks.
That game against Kentucky stands out for Duke, though. The Blue Devils could never get a handle on that contest in Atlanta. We expect a good close game that may come down to the supporting offensive players outside Flagg and Dickinson.
The Blue Devils will be heard from in the ACC and are not a bad bet in the college basketball futures (+1000) to win the NCAA title. However, we think they are still in the development stage.
3. Bet This Game to Go Over 148
Good defense takes a while to develop. These two teams will likely be better on that end later in the season.
While Duke kept the score down in Tucson, we still know the Blue Devils can put up points. They have drained 57 shots from behind the arc.
Kansas scored 92 against a solid North Carolina team. Mayo, Storr, Harris and KJ Adams Jr. (14 points versus the Tar Heels) are just getting started. Flory Bidunga (8.4 ppg) has been hampered by an ankle injury as well, but Self told reporters he should be ready.
